Today is the last day of my nothing changes if nothing changes “solution” series.

Miss the other ones? Here they are:

1. Solution: Cleaning Out the Gut Part I
2. Solution: Cleaning Out the Gut Part II
3. Workouts: Something You’ve Never Done

 
It’s an endless pursuit of perfection….that old work-life balance.

Everyone thinks they have it figured out. There are tips and tricks and thoughts galore out there. The reality is that for professionals who truly love what they do and are truly trying to make things happen, it’s an endless work in progress.

I am no exception. As a matter of fact, I’m far from being good with this.

I mentioned before that I have been going, going, going….nearly 7 days a week and definitely “on” for 9-10+ hours a day, 5 days a week. I waited too long for my mental break to Sedona.

So what, right? I mean, look – we are all busy people….S@%^ needs to get done.

I’d like to agree with that. I typically do.

But I’m kind of over it.

I always get my stuff done – at least the important things. Where my hazy area forms is when I don’t distinguish clearly the difference between important and “busy.”

Last Wednesday I celebrated 1 year with Singley+Mackie. I remember the day I made the decision to work for Matt and the company. Back then it was Bittersweet. In hindsight there likely wasn’t anything “bitter” about the decision I made. It was the best decision I could have made. This past year has been amazing. It seems like just yesterday when Matt asked if there would be “any chance” I’d consider the move. Fast forward: I have learned so much, and I have grown so much. I am becoming the professional I’ve always striven to become.

The downside? BECAUSE I love what I do so much, I go and I go and I go. Couple this with my blog, a health coaching business I’m beginning to create and finishing up school, I’m literally 24/7.

But here is the problem: I’m not sure I have a solution for this one.

I am making major diet/lifestyle and fitness changes.

This one has me stuck.

I know we’re better in the long run with balance. I just need to dig really deep to find it.

Question: How do you achieve your work-life balance? Or are you in my same place?

Love your guts,
